1 Vide H. 1. Hogbin, .. Native Christianity in a New Guinea Village," Oceania, Vol. XVIII, pp. 1-35· • At the same time, it may be well to point out at once that there can be little d~ubt about the accuracy of the general outlines, so closely do these follow the pattern for the rest of New Guinea. The beings which I have referred to respectively as the land spirits and the monsters of the male cult are so general, indeed, that there are terms for them in pidgin English, the .. masalai " and the .. tambaran.' Those who are interested in a faithful reconstruction of Busama religion should consult the literature dealing with the Bukawa' people of the north coast of the Huon Gulf, where the culture was identical.
